Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: What date? And Where? London, England
« on: Monday 01 January 24 18:33 GMT (UK)  »
It has been many years since I posted this question.   Today, I believe I have the answer!   The Salzers indeed lived at 108 Carlton Street, on the corner of Gilden Road (formally Hanover Street).

The next 'block' to the West had a pub on one corner of Gilden Road and Carlton Road.  The other corner of that block was 33 Gilden Road with an andled doorway.   I'm concluding that this was the shop I asked about :)

It is Barn Side Cottage on the 1901 census :)

Oh thank you, I will certainly look that up.  You're quite the detective!

How do you clean up the URL?

Val, this is fantastic information and ties in with some old maps showing a kiln on the southern side of the canal.  I also was under the impression that the farm was run down/defunct, so someone living in an outhouse makes some sort of sense.

If you are on Facebook, I made a group called Friends of Bridge Farm and I have put my findings so far on there.  If it's OK with you, I'll add what you have said, and I'll do some more digging!

Hi Carole, I completely forgot about Family Search so I'd not seen the transcription.  Thank you, I'll also see what else I can find to add to what John has found too.

It is really exciting to have all this come together so quickly :)

We are restoring a tiny bit of woodland called Bridge Farm next to the Grand Union Canal on the border of Greenford and Northolt.  I have checked some maps, the farm seems to be on the Northolt (North) side of the canal but called Bridge Cottage Farm.   A kind lady called Joan Gale said her g grandfather (called Fisher) owned it, and her mother was born there.  I have found the 1911 census (free) but I can't see anything else as I have not paid to view. 

Is there anything any of you can add to the puzzle, without being able to view records, I cant really say much more about the farm.  It's the farm I am most interested in, if that makes sense, how old is it, were the Fishers the only family etc?

Thank you Japeflakes, I passed your Baron photos link to Annette and she's now seen more photos of her lovely boat.

Itchthy (great name) and Ian, thank you for your restorations, Annette will be spoilt for choice :)
